Line all 4 screws in to position without tightening them, that'll tell you if its the inside or outside hole on the moun that should be used. It should have instructions that will tell you which hole fits which socket.

I dont know where the instructions are been trying to align this for some time now

Best way to approach this in that case is fit one corner screw in the hole closest to the CPU, then do the same in the opposite corner. If that 2nd screw doesnt allign to the inside hole, you'll need to use the outside ones.

There were some videos doing the rounds a few years ago which showed CPUs with no heatsinks on them hitting ~200C in a matter of seconds - before the POST stage of booting up had even completed. So it's very very easy for a CPU to hit that temperature, especially if you're running any sort of program.

So it could stil just be my cooler. My computer has been on for 2+ hours now with no restart, but temperature is still high. I touched the pipes closer to the cpu and they seem hot aswell.

you need a new CPU cooler from those photos it all looks nice and clean.

What Ghz is your CPU running at? The CPU will do the best to keep working by lowering speeds when it gets too hot, but the root cause I would suspect is your pumpm based on experience of also having Seidon pumps fail.

If you're struggling with getting the cooler aligned, I would also advise that you have someone look at doing the replacement for you.

MAx speed is 4ghz. Utilizing around 1-2 just browsing. ive already reapplied the paste and fitted it back in. Problem still exists.

if you replaced the cooling you could reuse the fans from the rad to fill the case. you might find that they work better than those which come with the new cooler and use them on it and put those fans in the case instead?

the more you have posted make me think it is the pump which has failed more

sorry dude.
